lyrics

So, that was how it all began.
We've no future, and we've got no plans.
You're just a glimmer in the sky-
That you'd remain, I would rely.

Now, you've no need for fear or dread,
Look only to what lies ahead.
We leave our trails of light behind,
I cross over your city lines

Knowing that your buildings, they reach the sky,
Avenues etched into my mind,
Streets haunted by frantic ghosts
To remind you of what you love the most.
They take you, they break your will,
They leave once they've had their fill,
But I'll get us out of here,
Hang on tight to me, my dear.

Were my intentions misread?
How much drier would you have me bled?
Towers crumble with each word you send
And this is how it all will end.

Don't you know, these outskirts are haunted, too?
By delusions of life with you,
But I know that you'll be safe-
It's not you they want today.
